Preventing Policy Nonrenewal in Wildfire-Affected Areas
Wildfires can cause significant damage to homes, and in the past, some insurance companies have declined to renew policies for homes in high-risk areas or those affected by wildfires. Fortunately, new consumer protection laws in California have been enacted to address this issue.
According to the California Department of Insurance, a one-year moratorium now prevents insurance companies from canceling or refusing to renew home insurance policies in areas declared high-risk for wildfires. This moratorium goes into effect when the Governor of California declares a state of wildfire emergency in a specific area. Homeowners whose properties have suffered less than a total loss are eligible for this protection. For homes declared a total loss, other governmental regulations provide coverage and support.
